Ingredients
To recreate this seafood paradise in your own kitchen, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Olive oil
- Garlic cloves, minced
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Salmon fillet, sliced
- Scallops, cleaned and pat dried
- Red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh spinach leaves
- Lemon zest
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Fresh basil leaves, torn
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Ensure that your oven is hot enough to achieve a crispy crust.
-
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
-
Drizzle olive oil over the pizza dough and distribute the minced garlic cloves evenly. This will infuse the crust with a delightful aroma.
-
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough. The cheese will act as a delicious binder for all the toppings.
-
Now it’s time to add the star ingredients – the salmon and scallops. Arrange the slices of salmon and scatter the cleaned scallops evenly on the pizza.
-
Next, add the thinly sliced red onions and fresh spinach leaves. The red onions bring a hint of sweetness, while the spinach adds a refreshing touch.
-
Grate lemon zest over the pizza to give it a zingy, citrusy flavor. Don’t overdo it; a little goes a long way.
-
Season the pizza with salt and black pepper to taste. This will enhance the natural flavors of the seafood.
-
Finally, top it off with torn fresh basil leaves for a burst of herbal goodness.
-
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and crispy.
-
Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
-
Serve your homemade salmon and scallop seafood pizza hot, and watch as your friends and family devour every slice.
